Hydrocephalus has a few causes. The most prevalent is an obstruction in the ventricles of the brain that causes the fluid (CSF) to build up. Then there is the non-obstructive type that is caused by either an overproduction of CSF or by a decreased reabsorption of the CSF. Then there are the non-genetic causes- meningitis, encephalitis, Intraventricular hemorrhages, tumors... An absolute best case scenario is that this open fontanel is just that, an open fontanel. But even that carries some significant risks. The brain in the exposed area is covered only by a very thin dura. That puts them at significant risk of a traumatic brain injury that can occur after a fall or other blow to the head.

| That's why every one needs to research there breeder very well and even one red flag should be taken extremely seriously.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | The quickest test would be a cranial ultrasound to look at the size of the ventricles. It's painless, but may require sedation to get an accurate look.

How is hydrocephalus typically diagnosed, if a dog has no symptoms? Is there a blood test, CT scan, or x-ray that would reveal if a dog has it or carries a gene for it?

| They only sedated Callie for X-rays they can't do that with Zoey? There have been younger pups put under at 8 weeks to be fixed and made it ok.

| Ultrasound is different from x-ray (where they can't move). Ask your vet, or perhaps get a second opinion from another vet.
